I get your point, and it is valid, but also observe that there have been numerous successful social movements in the near and longer past! They had to fight against vastly more powerful systems and still succeeded in the end. As activists, we can obtain substantial press coverage even without an advertising budget, by carrying out well-thought-out direct actions and acts of civil disobedience, and we can offer direct resistance (for instance, when we build tree houses to occupy forests which are on the clearing list of governments or the fossil fuel industry, like we successfully did with the Hambach Forest in Germany).
